Hey everyone this is my first post here and im really looking forward to having a whole community of players and DMs to talk to as opposed to me and a handful of ppl i know locally. That said im a 2nd edition forgotten realms DM cause lets face it you cant beat a 2nd ed boxed set and im trying to find as many poster maps of the realms as i can to make a giant complete one. In the forgotten realms campaign setting (revised) the southern most point it shows is part of the jungles of chult and has an arrow pointing down that says to halruaa i was wondering if anyone could help me out do you know if they ever made a module or boxed set that has a map of that region? thank you again hope for many replies. |

And it goes to show the layer of detail that goes into Ed's world and writing. It was only a month or two ago that I had a real good look at the hand-drawn Halruua map and saw nestled in the eastern foothills the city of Orbedal. No doubt the same Orbedal ruled by the lich Rhaugilath and mentioned in a little flavour piece in the FR13 Anauroch accessory. The same "Orbedal" and "Rhaugilath" that Eric (with me kibitzing) made into a Netherese enclave that effectively is now Warlock's Crypt on the banks of the Winding Water.
Oops. I hate it when the Realms does that to me (with regularity). In due course the fix it crew (THO and Ed) will be along to tell me that "No George, the Orbedal in Halruua was built by Netherese from the first Orbedal and named after it, so there is no continuinty glitch!". When that happens I will smile and go on knowing the whole while that we mucked up, but that everything in the Realms is fixable.

The one I believe you are looking for was that last one I mentioned, which is probably the most difficult to find. Most of the people who bought that module did so just for the map (which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the adventure - its not even in the same region!)
EDIT:
Found it in a post by GK - it was in an old TSR Newsletter. |

The maps have though also changed though the Editions. Markustay has respect from at least a few FR authors for the quality of his maps. |

From the boxed sets that I have seen: the maps do not usually match up and represent different scales. |

Markustay on Deviantart has loads of amazing Forgotten Realms maps, I'm showing a map of northern Faerun he made to my players for an upcoming Savage Frontier chat game I'm running and have always liked his maps for getting the idea of what's in a particular campaign location. |

you might want to look into the forgotten realms interactive atlas. I see copies on sale on amazon. You might be able to find it elsewhere as well. |

I love the 2E Realms too, but I think the map from the 3E Realms Campaign book showed this area and more. |

Look out for Markustay on here and threads he is involved in. He has many maps of the Forgotten Realms available. |
